Patience

Have patience in all you do,
Patience is hard and something not to be trifled with.
If you have no patience, you will get nowhere.
Sometimes it comes when you least expect it,
other times you are faced with it all the time.

Try to be kind and understanding,
Like a dog who is man’s best friend.
He will wait for hours, days, weeks, years,
For his master to arrive, and then he is happy.
Love those whom you never see,
Know that when the time comes they will return.

Return from far away places.
Some places of evil, some good,
Some fun, and some boring.
These places all teach a lesson,
A lesson in waiting, learning, helping.

Patience is gentle, kind, caring,
It helps you get along with those around you.
Patience is a virtue.
Seeing the rainbow of colors filling up my view,
Showing me the fruits of waiting,
Of being a friend to those in need.

Let patience guide you when dealing with difficult situations.
Let it be like a light at the end of a tunnel,
Knowing that there is a plan,
And that I will find that plan,
Even when I am unable to see the light yet.

Keep your eyes on God.
Have patience in all you do.
Know that God is with you in all you do.
Also, know that God will watch over and protect you,
Even when you have no patience,
And don’t want to wait on Him.

Know that He loves us,
All the days of our lives.
It matters not where we are,
God will wait patiently for us forever.
The God who is forever!


I wrote this poem for a class that i have been taking in college. It is something that really speaks to me because i don't have much patience, and it is helping me to remember that patience is something that i really need if i am gonna get anywhere.

Sometimes it is hard to be patient, and to let God do all of the work, and to remember that He is here with me. It can be disappointing for me realize that I can't do everything myself. Even though this is disappointing, it makes me feel much better when i find that God is there helping me through all my stressful times. At times i can't see or feel Him, but then somebody says something or does something for me and it helps to remind me that He is here, even though i can't feel or see or hear Him at the moment.
